(Backup) Early Halloween, lost tooth, fall weather

Halloween has gone over board lately. Everyone has a trick or treating event. We like candy, but not enough to keep dressing up for it...we only did twice. Last Friday we went to the Chapel’s Trunk or Treat event. It was great: music, Carmel apples, s’mores, hot chocolate, candy, and the FD brought their trucks and bouncy slide. On Saturday, after getting about 15 pieces of candy the night before, Emma said she was done and didn’t want to go trick-or-treating 😮 She wanted to hand out candy. We bought a small bag and went to someone else’s house to hand them out. We did stop at a few houses, mostly people we knew. It was crazy out though. They let the Japanese kids come on base to trick-or-treat...and bus them over to the officer housing. Sometimes we had to stand in line for a few minutes to get candy. One of my friends said they went through 480 pieces of candy in 70 minutes...only giving one at a time! Many of the garden house culdesacs set up tents to bbq while handing out candy. It’s quite an event here. 

She also lost her second tooth on Saturday! I used all my yen on tolls getting to my surgery, so Steven had to come home from work and bring some. 🤦‍♀️ And my friend is making her a tooth fairy pillow so that we have a a better system. I didn’t wake her up this time, but she moved around when I put it under her pillow. 

The weather has been perfect here lately. Very enjoyable. I got to enjoy it yesterday when I went to my doctors appointment. I had my stints taken out of my nose yesterday...they were about as big as a 3M hook, minus the hook. I can breathe really well out of one side of my nose. The other side still has some surgical glue that is slowly melting...dripping out of my nose, but is still completely blocked. I was surprised how sore my face has been since took them out.  I couldn’t even chew my cereal this morning, and I can’t move my nose enough to sniffle. He said that even though the outside might look fine, the inside will still have swelling for a while. I go back in a month.

Someone got ahold of my phone and took a selfie.

Can you see her tooth? I think it’s still there.

And not 5 minutes later, she lost it!

She was eating chocolate when it came out.

We did some relaxing on Saturday.

Going trick or treating! They do it on the Saturday before Halloween here.

Going for a walk Sunday morning 

She was FaceTimeing.

We have seen Fuji a lot this time of year.

They have a McDonalds on the navy base. It’s by the ocean.
